•   I bought 50-lbs of porcelain clay and I tried making porcelain 
pottery.  The shrinkage factor is about double ordinary stoneware clay, 
and porcelain clay is hellish to work with.  My advice is use G-10 
fiberglass-epoxy for insulating.  It's good around RF, strong, and easily 
drilled/machined.
